Aokigahara has a comfortless repute in Japan and internationally as a end for people who wish to kill themselves.

Data on a array of suicides there any year is not done public, to equivocate publicising a site. Signs are posted in a timberland propelling people to find medical assistance rather than take their possess lives.

The 15-minute video is partial of a array of posts from Japan where a US vlogger is on a outing with friends.

They go on a revisit to a timberland intending to concentration on a “haunted” aspect of it, he says in a video.

After walking a brief stretch into a forest, a organisation come opposite a body.

The organisation is filmed coming a body, that is shown in several close-ups where usually a face is confused out.

A member of a organisation is listened off camera observant he “doesn’t feel good”. Mr Paul afterwards asks him: “What, we never mount subsequent to a passed guy?” He afterwards laughs.

Logan Paul knew what he was doing. He’s not “sorry”. He disrespected that self-murder victim, people with mental illnesses and Japan. Japan has one of a top self-murder rates in a world. He knew what he was doing and I’m disgusted.

Some supporters insisted he should be forgiven for what they pronounced was a mistake, with one tweeting: “You still are a best out there and always will be” with a hashtag #Logan_you_are_forgiven.

He goes on to contend he wanted to “make a certain sputter on a internet, not means a monsoon of negativity”, by lifting recognition of self-murder and self-murder prevention.

Mr Paul says in a video that he is not creation income off a content. YouTube, that pays calm providers for videos that hoard above a certain array of hits, did not immediately respond to a BBC’s ask for comment.
